Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars, with its review by Scott Yanow stating: "the group performs five original themes based on classical music, along with four blues-oriented tunes. Although a touch lightweight, the music is enjoyable enough and certainly superior to most of Lewis' output in the 1970s and '80s".^[2]
